So Trump is getting flack today because he retweeted a quote attributed to Mussolini. Stalin has been quoted to say quantity has a quality of its own and he proved in it in the war. I am sure Genghis Khan must have uttered a few pearls of wisdom too. So, what is wrong with using them if they are proven correct? Is the downside worth it?

why don't we just give him every hitler quote about making Germany great again by getting rid of the jews and spray tan a dark mustache on him?

If Obama had quoted some "pearls of wisdom" from Osama Bin Laden or Mohamed Atta would you still only care that they are proven correct?
No one with an IQ higher than 20 truly believes Trump's campaign doesn't know where things come from before they post them on Twitter. They are not stupid. They know exactly what they are doing.
I don't care about his motives. No decent politician would quote Mussolini under any circumstances.
"Last year, we set a trap for Trump. We came up with the idea for that Mussolini bot under the assumption that Trump would retweet just about anything, no matter how dubious or vile the source, as long as it sounded like praise for himself. (It helps that that a number of Mussolini’s quotes sound plausibly like lines from Trump’s myriad books.) The account, @ilduce2016, was created by Gawker senior writer Ashley Feinberg and Gawker Media Editorial Labs director Adam Pash. It has tweeted solely at Donald Trump, multiple times a day, since December 2015." How We Fooled Donald Trump Into Retweeting Benito Mussolini
I'm a bit disappointed that he got sucked into it but they've been patiently waiting since December for it and I guess they finally succeeded.
I'm sure he didn't know. But still, he should have. Everyone under the sun tries to get rid of him, it just makes more people admire him sticking in there despite how hard he has it compared to others running.

Nothing is wrong with it, despite Chuck Todd's look of consternation this morning. They're just hoping something will stick.

"At the time of the account’s creation, Gawker Media Executive Editor John Cook expressed some concern that the joke behind the account was far too obvious, and wouldn’t trick anyone but a complete idiot.
Today, Donald Trump proved him—and all of us—right."
Precious! ...only I'm not one who admires the idiot!
Italians for Trump. He did say he can broaden the base.
They're still salivating over this, too. I thought I'd seen everything when Chuck Todd (in his Peter Brady, squeaking voice) asked Trump if he wanted to be "associated" with Mussolini, after Trump repeated that he liked the quote.
I have an affinity for good quotes, too, despite who may have said them. Again, Trump's not playing their game and they're beside themselves.
